There is no "short" rope necessarily tied to the horn. You have your rope that you rope the calf with which is tied "fast" to the horn. There is also what they call the "jerk line" which is tucked into the ropers belt and attached to the horses bit so when the roper runs to the calf it "bumps" the horse in the mouth which in turn encourages him to keep the rope taught.

The lay of a roping rope refers to the direction in which the fibers of the rope are twisted together.

Roping ropes are usually designed with a specific lay to optimize performance for tasks like lassoing and securing livestock.
